Zimbabwe Visa – Requirements and Application
Do I Need a Visa for Zimbabwe?
Yes, all travelers need a visa for entry to Zimbabwe. Visas are issued on arrival (VoA) at the respective point of entry and vary in length depending on the need of the traveler.
All travelers must obtain visas at the port of entry as currently there is not an option of obtaining a visa through the Zimbabwean Embassy.
Travelers coming from South Africa will need two blank pages in their passport to adhere to immigration regulations. Travelers coming from anywhere else will require just one.
Zimbabwe is quite strict on cash flow in and out of the country, as authorities hope to limit the influx of U.S. dollars into the country.
It is highly recommended travelers bring sufficient cash for their trip, depart the country with no more than $1,000 and prepay all possible expenses on a credit or debit card.
